China Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 In Pictures: The Strangest Sights in Google Earth Dubbed The Badlands Guardian by locals, this geological marvel (Google Earth coordinates 50.010083,-110.113006) in Alberta, Canada, bears an uncanny resemblance to a human head wearing a full Native American headdress--and earphones, to boot. For aviation buffs, Google Earth offers the unique ability to spot airplanes in midair. One Google Earth Community has Placemarks for more than 3300 planes in flight, including this World War II bomber (Google Earth coordinates 52.336392,-0.1953462) flying over Huntingdon, England. The unblinking eyes of the satellites record not only human achievements, but our less successful moments as well. One example is this huge ship (Google Earth coordinates 30.541634,47.825445) floating on its side after a maritime accident in the waters of Basrah, Iraq. Think parking is tough where you live? In Westenbergstraat, Netherlands, drivers apparently have to park on the sides of walls (Google Earth coordinates 52.069207,4.3139865). Some of the sights you find in Google Earth are just plain mysterious. For example, why is a fighter jet parked (Google Earth coordinates 48.825183,2.1985795) in what looks to be a residential neighborhood lot near Paris? Click on the link for more.

Temple Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Where else would you expect the French to keep there surrender jets. For ****'s sake, man. Are you even trying?! You hear the word "Paris," and your knee-jerk, Pavlovian response is to say the word "surrender." ****ing hilarious man. How long did it take you to think of that one? No really. I've never ever heard anyone EVER say anything that related the two together. You, sir, are a comedic pioneer. Dennis Miller, watch your back. And there's a difference between "there" and "their" (and "they're.") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Never Fired, Dropped Once" was a common poke at both militaries after the war. In fact it was commonly used for the style of rifle Lee Harvey Oswald supposedly used to assassinate President Kennedy.

Bang Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Where are the nude beaches with high res pictures the problem with that is that typically the person who is unabashed enough to walk around a nude beach, and is "comfortable with their body" is usually someone you'd never want to see naked in the first place. For every single hot chick on a nude beach or in a nudist colony, there's 50 grandmothers, 75 fat guys, and 125 beached whale-women. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You insult me with bad humor, I like good jokes, I don't like predictable, derivative garbage thrown out over and over again. This is just like the gittrdone crap, only this fad refuse to die.
